Can I convert "bitmap" files to Word?

Hi Rick Asper

There is no direct software from adobe to do this but you can first convert a bitmap to PDF and PDF to Word,

You can use Adobe Acrobat, Please Refer :

Convert Any File to a PDF - Word, Jpeg, Gif

Open Adobe Acrobat, click the “File” tab, highlight the “Create” option and select “PDF From File.”

Step 2

Navigate through your folders in the Open dialog box and select the JPEG/BMP you want to convert. Click “Open” to convert the image to PDF format.
